Howdy, Pilgrim! Welcome to Texas!

No, this is not a John Wayne movie rerun. This is the offical website for the
Society of Mayflower Descendants in the State of Texas.

Pilgrims in Texas? Who would have thought that could occur? Actually it makes a lot of sense.
The same character strengths that built America, starting in New England, also bullt Texas.
In fact, a lot of the original Texas settlers came from New England,
and a lot of Texans were not born in Texas, but got here as soon as they could.

If you live in Texas, used to live in Texas, want to live in Texas, or think about living in Texas,
and are a descendant of the Mayflower Pilgrims, this is where you belong and we will warmly welcome you.
Our How to Join section will help you get started.

Be sure to take a look at our Articles of Interest section
which features articles from Texas authors.

We have 8 'Colonies' in the Texas Mayflower Society. You can find the Colony nearest to you in
our Texas Mayflower Society Colonies section.
If you are a member of The Mayflower Society, we strongly encourage you to join one of our Colonies.

The Texas Society was founded in 1931. With over 1100 members, we are one of the largest State Mayflower Societies.
We remain active throughout the year through our Colony and State activties.
Dedicated to preserving the history of our Mayflower ancestors, we specialize in
educational programs, genealogical and historical research.

Whether you are interested in becoming a member,
or simply learning more about the history of the Mayflower and the Pilgrims,
enjoy your time visiting our site.
